"Lilah….Lilah wake up." I moaned slightly wondering who was trying to wake me up.
All I wanted to do was sleep and sleep and sleep.
The person was persistant, a warm large hand rested on my shoulder shaking me slightly.
Grumbling once more I opened my eyes slowly looking toward the person who was so rudely trying to wake me from my peaceful dreams filled with lovely and handsome Jacob.
My heart jumped as I took in the appearance of my visitor.
"Oh shit!" I exclaimed realized it was Jacob, his appearance was sending shivers down my spine and a blush crept up my cheeks as I realized that sexy man from my dreams was now standing in my room.
"Sorry sorry, oh no did I sleep through my alarm. Shit what time is it?" I said moving about quickly as I threw back the covers and began moving about the room.
I had indeed slept through my alarm which was set at 9 and now the time read 1105.
I shook my head in frustration, those dam dreams why did he have to be so warm and inviting.
I finally stopped for a second to look at him and noticed his face looked red, if that was even possible. He seemed to swallow quite hard and I followed the intense gaze he had all the way down to my underwear.
"Oh god, I'm sorry I guess I took of my shorts in my sleep." I said my cheeks now turning bright red as I pulled on the forgotten shorts that were by my bed.
"Its…um its okay don't worry about it. The guys wont mind if we are late, take your time." He said his voice so unbearable husky I felt like throwing myself at him at that very instant.
I shook my head mentally wondering what the hell I was thinking.
I feel like such a pervert.
"How did you get in?" I asked while quickly grabbing my stuff and pulling out a chair for him to sit and wait while I ran into the bathroom.
The door wasn't very thick and his reply came through pretty clear.
"The window actually, it was open. Sorry I hope you don't think I'm some kind of weirdo for sneaking in through your window but you weren't answering the door and it was locked." He said embarrassment causing his laugh to falter a bit.
I was in awe, these guys were incredible. I doubted that they would ever cease to amaze me.
I chuckled at his embrassmnt.
"Don't worry, I don't think you are a weirdo at all. I'm just sorry that I've blinded you by my lack of clothing and kept you waiting by my tardniness." I said pulling on the bikini bottoms and shorts to cover them for now.
He laughed at that, a strong deep laugh that made my temperature heat up. How could any one person have this affect on someone, it was astounding. I felt like I was in a fog, when he was near. His mere appearance rendered me weak in the knees, I only thought things like this happened in cliché love novels.
"Don't apologize for that..and you didn't blind me. You are beautiful." He said almost too quiet for me to hear.
My heart fluttered at his statement. How could he think I was beautiful. I am the plane Jane.
I undid my bandages and found I ran into a bit of a problem.
I needed to clean off my back, and add more cream, before I rebandaged it with special water proof gauze Natalia had found. Unfortunately washing was the easy part but adding the cream with my short arms wasn't working so well.
I grunted a couple times gasping as my arm kept wanting to pop out of its socket.
Exsaperated I let out a frustrated groan.
"Are you okay in there?" He asked his voice sounding worried.
My back was healing so nicely with the cream I didn't want to set it back a day by not putting it on. The gashes were still apparent but there was no pain now and they were slowly closing.
I felt embarrassed as I spoke.
"Umm…well my arms are too short to be able to put that cream on Emily gave me." I said not sure what he would say.
The rhythmic stepping he had been doing as he walked around the room stopped abruptly at my words.
"Oh well I could do it for you…but only if you're comfortable with that." He said, I could imagine his nervous smile and it caused me to smile as I felt my skin turn slightly pink from all this excitement.
I put my bra and opened the door. I figured that a bra was clothing, just like a bikini top if you thought about it.
His eyes must have said otherwise cuase his completely stopped moving and looked at me, his eyes wide and warm. I could almost feel the heat he excuded from across the room, it was mesmerizing and toxic.
I walked forward blushing fiercely as I handed him the cream.
I remembered something before I turned looking into his eyes concerned.
"I know that you guys have a quick temper though, you shook a lot last night when I said what had happened…are you sure you're okay with seeing this?" I said looking down a bit and shuffling my feet.
He seemed to snap out of his stupor and looked at my face, his eyes seeming to burn straight into my soul.
"Don't worry I will be fine. Sometimes we don't know how to control the anger or frustration that we feel even against people we haven't met. You are a friend and I hated hearing about someone hurting you, but I have been working on it and I think I will be fine." He said seeming resolute in his decision.
I pulled the chair forward near the bed, motioning him to sit on the bed and me on the chair facing away from him.
I could feel the warm breath he had be excuding suddenly stopped as he took in the state of my back.
I gave him a moment to keep himself controlled as he took deep breaths to calm himself.
I jumped a bit as his band met my back the cold cream so different from his hot hand.
He moved quickly and gently across my back, working in silence, the task most likely taking his mind off the anger.
I felt calm and almost sleepy as his hand moved across his back. Hopefully he didn't find it repulsive.
A hand on my back had always calmed me down for some reason and now was no different than any other.
"Okay, all done, how does that look." He said quietly.
I was off in my own little world I barely heard him.
"Huh." I said dreamily.
He laughed sweetly the sound resonating wonderfully through the wood and up through my body.
"Guess that felt nice eh?" He said joking with me.
I turned and smiled at him still off in dream land and giggled slightly as I got up and moved back to the bathroom.
It didn't take me long to re-wrap my back, and replace the bra with the half swim top I had gotten.
Leaving the bathroom I grabbed my things and we headed out and to his car, what he told me is known as a rabbit.
The drive was quiet, but not awkwardly so, I felt at peace and happy as we rumbled along the road.
